Divinity Original Sin

My mouse is over the purchase button but MD might get upset if I go in without him. 

Don't use me as your excuse.  40 is only 5 more than 35.  And if I am shelling out 35, it might as well be 40.

Well that doesn't help.  It also probably doesn't help that I am reading through the manual.

Its great you have a number of options to customize your character visually...however, dumb question....why does the portrait of your character (one that shows on game screen) not actually match your true character's appearance?  The portrait will show a face that does not even closely resemble your characters face you created...not a huge deal, but thought they would match.

I found a portrait that fit my character fairly well.

Still not an exact match...just would have thought the portrait being based on your actual appearance versus some pre-defined image.

I like that lone wolf description.

So, I folded like a cheap house of cards and bought the game.  Now I have to wait overnight for it to download.  :-\

Welcome to the club!  I don't think you'll regret it from what I have seen so far and I am not even usually a fantasy RPG type of player:)  Been a little busy today to dive in deep myself, but hope to after the next few days...

The specter of a long weekend and an out of town girlfriend have me up against it!  And the fact that it's co-op is REALLY tempting me!!!!!!!

I got it on one of the 20% sales, but I would've happily paid full price.   O0

I spent a couple of hours with it tonight. It really is good fun. The Larian games always have been good old school RPGs.

I'm hoping for some lore and backstory, but even if it never gets there, the magic system alone is nicely engaging.

Spent more time with the game and even a friend gifted me the dlc......if you do get the dlc beware it comes with the quest design documents which is cool, but of course provides spoilers.  I guess can be useful if you get stuck.

Judgedredd, where are you at?  This is a new game thread and haven't seen you post yet....leading to your purchase:)

Somebody remind me about this game during the next Steam sale.  :P

Just a post from the developer clarifying what you get when you buy the digital collection edition for those considering splitting the cost with others....

From developer:

When you buy the Digital Collectors Edition you get :
- 2 steam copies of all three games (1 copy for you, 1 copy as a gift), being Original Sin, Beyond Divinity, Divine Divinity
- 1 copy of the DLC

Note to be clear about the DLC ingame:
You do not need this DLC to play the game. It is also not story-related DLC. These are just unique items the host gets one set of when he creates a new game. He can pass this item along to the player in his co-op session if he wants to, but there will always be only one set per co-op session.

So if you and a friend both have the DLC, there will still only be one set of these items in the game session. Only the host controls the creation of the DLC, not the joining player, because this player is joining his story line session.

This would also not make sense lore-wise to have 2 times this unique item in the game world.
Again, if you own the DLC, this will allow you to create games with one set of the items. You can then choose to share these items with anyone joining your session.

Damn. Like hot cakes, this game is selling. Someone post a criticism of it! Even a little one will do.
